[filmscanners] Re: OT: which wintel OS for digital imaging?

["Anthony Atkielski" <anthony@atkielski.com>]

Keep in mind that many of these "useful utilities" actually work like
viruses, in that they place a lot of hooks in unusual places in the
operating system.  This is necessary in order for them to do what they do,
but it is also hugely destabilizing to the system as a whole.  It's rather
like maintaining someone in a coma:  you have to hook them up to all sorts
of tubes and machines in order to keep them alive, but the interference of
all the tubes and machines brings a lot of problems of its own, and many new
risks.

Moral:  If your machine isn't in a coma, don't use these utilities.

Your experience is exactly as mine with Symantec products. The only one
I will run is NAV, and I'm thinking of going to McAfee next time.

Except for Norton Anti-Virus all the other Norton System stuff has never
done anything for me but cause headaches and more problems.  In my last
notebook, whenever I installed Norton (I forget what it was called
System Works?) the a drive went dead and whenever I uninstalled it it
worked perfectly.  Every time I have installed those types of programs I
have had more difficulty then without them......my experience only.
